Patching isn't gameplay. I use a proxy from Thailand, as my ISP doesn't rent enough Pacific Pipe. Sometimes is was better than ok, sometimes is was horrible. Run Resource Monitor (or the ingame /netstat 1) When my ping was <600ms, it didn't rubberband at least.
I think their issue in group play was that every targeted heal also heals the cleric 100%. So even without trying, you are staying at 100% without pots. Its really a moot point at that time because there wasn't much heal aggro either. Why they 'tweaked' both. Just had disastrous results :p I would rather have the 50%…
It's 50k to remove just a L6, don't even want to think about what 7-10 are :/ Also the 4:1 ratio may seem cool at lower levels, but compare the exponential difference to the standard 3:1 I will start at L4, since those are the top drops you can get in the game. 4096 L4 drops with no failures for one L10. It also requires…
I wouldn't worry that much man. Sounds like PW's usual tricks, except they were always the developers too. With Cryptic keeping their entire staff for NWO, it means lots of work towards fleshing out the game. Also means that it won't be just fashions, pets, mounts and zero bug fixes which is PW's MO. CO and NWO do not have…
I made both, a human for W2 and then a Tiefling rec build for W3 The 3 heroic feats are most likely going to be used in the 4th tier, since you only ever get 20 normally to put in there (or 23) Armor Pen buff, Cleanse and extra Divinity are the T4 feats. AR is mainly for dps builds, Cleanse would work very well with healer…
Well it seems no matter how you roll as a DC, your single target will be weaker than everyone but the tank lol. I realize AoE is a little niche ... and maybe just great for farming and all the trash in instances. Will certainly judge things at 60 and see. I still see a very solid healer/support build in there as well. That…
I like the Brand of Fire animation :) You lift up your Holy Symbol that is in your offhand and brand the enemy with it The mainhand has a bunch of skins, and I data mined at least 4 deity ones ... but I agree that having only one choice for an implement is silly. Especially that censor-like thing. Granted there were…
I would say from an AoE burst perspective, DC wins. Sustained dps I would say they are behind. One more reason to go full recovery l suppose. We will see next weekend how the powers scale per level, if at all. Brand is decent for an extra DoT. Would be nice if Sacred Flame has a 5' radius, or 10-15' splash. 150DR and…
They can't change potions very much at all, without rebalancing the solo ability of every single other class. When you are soloing, layer up your 3 stack HoT before the pull, then 2 dps encounter powers to open, with dodges inbetween. Damage is paramount to stay alive, and smart usage of Divinity buffed spells Not much to…
Lol that's a pretty huge assumption. Devs almost always balance for level cap, since that is what most people will be spending the largest portion of their careers at. Cleric heals and damage reduction is very huge at the top, especially if you go Divinity for paragon feats. They get 10% damage reduction just as a passive…
Hmm, there are 2 kinds in Zen shop? You would think that hitting Cure Serious Wounds would be the optimal 'self-rez' since you will not be dead when that pop-up happens. Dunno how the hell you rez other people, never seen any sort of option while alive lol. Unless its a hotbar deal.
Well the recticle already 'stickies' onto a possible target. Guess the answer would have to do with hit-box size. Always something valid in PvP and I suppose from a Cleric's standpoint. My biggest issue was all those companions. If you are in a pug, you don't really know visually (or even by name lol) who is PC and who is…
Hah, the very Welsh side of me had a good belly-laugh. Bored here too, and need some NWO. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYsBvZRXF7A http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zI2nfB0TDGc
http://nwowiki.co/index.php?title=Devoted_Cleric Wisdom is a very solid stat. Charisma just seems to do better with scaling at the moment. So it does indeed come down to Int vs Wis. Since the game revolves around the mechanic that your abilities will all be on CD at some point, recovery mathematically is best. My new build…
/agreed. I sometimes missed a tab and ended up using some of the channel powers and they suck (early on its a powerful heal to use with Healing Word stacks) Empowered spells are muuuch better :)
PWE almost always has world bosses (and shards). The thing is, you can have them spawn on 10 shards and they will inevitably be spawning at different times. Perhaps a few would be very epic, and ~5 man ones more common.
Cleric will always be a requirement. If you watched the Twitch streams with Zeke the lead designer, he said that you will need a DC and GF for late content. What they are tying to do is make a class that people want to play. One that is engaging, can go out and solo just fine, one that has to work in dps to the party plan…
Its all about a decent weapon and your gaming skills. Rest is ... worth little consequence. Sad to hear that all the premade blues for CW are def orientated. Hopefully crafting will give you another avenue!
50% is what they intended (and what they said they are happy with) It unfortunately was bugged, like the 'aggro adjustment' they also did with Clerics. Since they didn't get any data from us on the 50%, I can only presume they 'are ok' because its already in the CB build. 2 different game builds, and I do wonder which one…
Well if they keep the same time tables ... they will let us test another build in a week. Then a week to evaluate and see if they need another, or jump to OB Would help to know the state of the CB build, as to how close they are getting.
Definitely the best scaling stat. Still ended up with 18 Wis though (with campfire buff), after taking all creation/leveling points in Int/Cha. Never hurts to have that 8% dmg / 10% + heals either ;)
4e a Devout Cleric is a ranged dps Leader role. AMA with combat dev also stated that they wanted this cleric to be active in dps during party play and not just sit back and toss heals. Hence the changes they made to nudge people away from that. Granted the Divinity paragon line of feats can make a very strong healer from…
